Re: black pudding

Y'know, things like German Blood Sausage...the name makes me wanna gag.
But, being Scottish, black pudding is actually absolutely gorgeous!!!
It doesn't look like blood at all, and tastes beautiful.
In case Americans don't know, I think Scots are secong behind Americans in the obesity stakes, we deep fry everything!!! And u can buy a lovely big long deep fried black pudding with fries! Yum!
Deep fried haggis and wait for it.....DEEP FRIED PIZZA!!!
Sounds gross but tastes divine. No wonder us Scots are all dropping dead of heart attacks!

Re: black pudding

here in NY, there is an irish diner that serves black and white pudding... if the black pudding is not ok, does anyone know about the white pudding?

Cleaning up the vomit off the keyboard now...
Thanks for the warning... glad to know to never try blood pudding... bread and blood... tucking that info in for later use.
I love how in this forum we learn so much about other cultures...I, being the dumb american that I am, would assume that it was just a name with no relation to reality and might try it thinking it was chocolate... lol!
It's sad that americans' are so fat huh? I want to be known for something else.

Re: black pudding

According to this recipe I googled (http://recipes.epicurean.com/recipe/...e-pudding.html), white pudding is made the same way as Black pudding only using minced (ground) liver instead of the blood.
So it would not be induction-legal either.

BTW the recipe uses breadcrumbs, milk, barley and oatmeal so is definitely not induction-legal - but could be tried on the grains rung of OWL.

Re: black pudding



I'm an American, and a Southerner, but all my ancestors were English and Scottish. Therefore, we were handed down all the recipes. I grew up on a farm where we raised and butchered all our own meat, but am extremely grateful that my mom had a weak stomach and we never had to eat the nasty, gross stuff! We gave all the yucky stuff to the men that came to help butcher. That included the blood to make 'blood' pudding--the same thing as black pudding. Scrapple or ponhorse was equally loathsome! (Scrapple is typically made of hog offal, such as the head, heart, liver, and other scraps, which are boiled with any bones attached (often the entire head), to make a broth. Once cooked, bones and fat are discarded, the meat is reserved, and (dry) cornmeal is boiled in the broth to make a mush. The meat, finely minced, is returned, and seasonings, typically sage, thyme, savory, and others are added. The mush is cast into loaves, and allowed to cool thoroughly until gelled.)

She wouldn't even cook or eat the hog jowls (pig face). Definitely, not brains!

I got introduced to these disgusting foods after I married a city boy. The time I had to make my father-in-law pork brains and scrambled eggs, I thought I'd die just from the smell alone.
